Before Lisa Vanderpump became a household name with the 2010 premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo, she appeared in a lesser-known role in the 1978 horror film Killer's Moon. The actress starred as Anne, a schoolgirl who is terrorized in the film directed by Alan Birkinshaw.

Over four decades later, Lisa is still commanding our screens, particularly with reality television. Season three of Vanderpump Villa premiered in April, with the special reunion episode airing on April 30.

"Lisa Vanderpump heads to Rosecroft Park in the English countryside, where fresh drama shakes up the new season," reads the synopsis from Disney Plus. "Season 3 of Vanderpump Villa unpacks its bags at a lavish English manor, where polished service can go sideways at record speed. The stately setting brings a fresh backdrop, while reality television's cheekiest characters turn every check-in into a setup for drama. Here’s how to watch and what to know before you arrive."

"A birthday getaway goes sour when tension between two guest groups collides with poorly-timed flirting. One high-energy group treats the estate like it’s spring break with better wallpaper, picking fights with staff and sparking a jacuzzi showdown serious enough for security to step in. The romantic mess spreads, too, as visiting singles flirt with staff and threaten already unstable connections. With rumours flying about the villa, the whole thing feels like it could go a bit pear-shaped at any second."

While her signature style today leans toward bouncy brunette curls, figure-hugging silk dresses, and high-octane makeup, Lisa looked quite different in the 70s. HELLO! takes a closer look at her striking transformation over the years.
